Keystone Hall, formerly known as the Greater Nashua Council on Alcoholism, is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide comprehensive substance use treatment and recovery services to individuals and families in a supportive environment while providing a strategic framework for substance use prevention in New Hampshire.

All treatment and services are gender-specific, trauma informed, and “open programs” with individuals able to start treatment as soon as space is available. All treatment is evidence-based. Services are offered in both English and Spanish.History

Keystone Hall was founded in 1983 by Paul Lacasse, a New Hampshire native and former marine who dedicated most of his life to social services. Mr. Lacasse, a recovering alcoholic, made it his personal mission to help others reach and maintain sobriety, while reducing the stigma associated with addiction.hopeless1

In 1986, \Keystone Hall’s first program, a 6-bed, 24-hour non-medical crisis detoxification center opened in an old manufacturing building in downtown Nashua. Four years later the agency moved to a larger space, having quickly outgrown its initial home. Keystone began to expand programs to meet needs within the community, and became the first organization in the state to offer both outpatient and residential programs to those most in need of addiction treatment. A transitional living program was added in 1990 to address the ongoing recovery efforts and housing needs of homeless individuals who completed acute, residential treatment but required supports to fully integrate back into the community

In 2003, Keystone Hall affiliated with Harbor Homes and joined what has become the Partnership for Successful Living. Since that time, the agency has quadrupled its budget and significantly increased the number of services provided. Today it is the largest contractor of the New Hampshire Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services in the state, providing evidence-based treatment and prevention services to over 700 individuals and families each year. Since its inception, Keystone Hall has provided more than 13,000 individuals with the life-saving gift of treatment.
